Cosa si prova davvero a fluttuare in assenza di peso come un astronauta? Per scoprirlo non siamo andati nello spazio, ma siamo saliti sul leggendario aereo ZERO-G di Novespace, vicino Bordeaux: un Airbus A310 che precipita in picchiata 31 volte per ricreare la microgravità identica a quella della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale. In questo video vi portiamo dentro un vero volo parabolico, usato dall'ESA per gli esperimenti scientifici e l'addestramento astronautico. Dalla consegna della tuta, all'incontro con Neil Melville, coordinatore ESA dei voli parabolici, fino ai momenti in cui abbiamo davvero iniziato a fluttuare. Tra emozione, adrenalina e un po' di scopolamina anti-mal d'aereo, il nostro astrofisico Filippo ci racconta com'è stata questa esperienza incredibile resa possibile dall'Agenzia Spaziale Europea e da Novespace.

Today we're crimped beneath the high seas with Co-Director/Writer/Production Designer Adam Browne and Shan't-ist Samuel Thomas-Holland, from the production BLADDERWRACK, at the Explosive Factory, St. Kilda, until the 15th November.

In this episode, we have a, high-energy conversation with Molly Mulligan and Ken Savin from Space MD about how space-made crystals are changing drug development on Earth. Their team grows protein crystals on the International Space Station because in zero gravity, the structures form more perfectly, revealing details that scientists can't see on the ground. One of their first successes was Keytruda, where space-grown crystals helped refine molecular structures that shaped a blockbuster therapy. We also cover running experiments in orbit, scaling the model for everyday pharma, and what happens when microgravity becomes just another R&D tool. It's biotech, but cosmic.

Summary of "Fork in Your Ear" Podcast Episode (Tim & Nate) This episode dives into fall vibes amid aging pains (creaky bones, coffee slurps) and tech woes, with Tim and Nate riffing on updates, laughs, and hype. Runtime ~3 hours of unfiltered chaos—editing hell for Nate. Life Updates Aches & Updates: Tim's iOS 26.0.1 update bricked his iPhone (boot loop, wiped/restored), Mac (crashy shutdowns), and dad's iPad (security patch fail)—"Windows-level disaster." Nate dodges it. Both gripe about body breakdowns (Tim: rib pain post-PT; Nate: car door twinge). Matchmaking Magic: Tim's playing Cupid for friend Robert (Xbox gamer) and Jessica's pal Winter (PC gamer)—siloed texts, Discord voice chats, Destiny 2 setup woes (Bungie name linking). High-fives with Jessica; they're vibing over Arizona iced tea. Tentative game night/Diablo 4 co-op; hopes for "rabbits" (post-rant: wholesome joy). Misc: Tim's niece's 2nd bday (Bluey gift hunt); haunted house tours delayed (friend in Turkey). Nate: Bengals tanking NFL season ("lost cause"); Dodgers playoffs competitive. Tron: Ares tickets (Oct 8; 3D laser IMAX; avoiding spoilers/merch glow-up). Entertainment Food Fight: KFC's "11 herbs/spices" spilled by a descendant (sage, cloves, etc., plus MSG in batter)—Tim sneezes mid-read. TV/Binge: Tim digs Chad Powers (Hulu comedy: Glen Powell as disgraced QB in Mrs. Doubtfire disguise; showboating fumble premise—real NFL bloopers nod). Nate pans Naked Gun reboot (PG-13 gags miss R-rated edge; 2-hour regret). Simpsons Movie 2 (2027; Tim hopes for finale/OG writers like Conan). Bond Brouhaha: Amazon edits gun-free James Bond box art (e.g., Brosnan Photoshop)—hypocritical with gun-logo/merch (e.g., GoldenEye collector's gun). Conspiracy: Search filter prep? Tim rants: Spy franchise sans guns = absurd. Tech Foldable Fever: Rumors of iPhone Fold (two Airs hinged; magnets likely). Nate gushes Z Fold 7 (thinner 215g/8" screen; 2,600 nits; Snapdragon 8 Elite ~40% faster; crease minimal—but wobbly camera bump gripes). Specs: 12GB RAM, 200MP cam; Minecraft hitches (update?). AI & Gadgets: Runway Gen-3 video AI (8-sec clips; ethics rage—Tim: tool for originals, not deepfakes like "Tilly Norwood" Comic-Con stunt). Coast USB-C rechargeables ($25/8-pack; testing in toothbrush/trimmer/Xbox controller—clever case). OS Hell: iOS 26 unification mixed (Watch/iPad laggy; TV fonts tiny). Free Xbox Cloud w/ads rumored (pre/mid/post-rolls? Tim fears retro-ad hell in raids). Video Games Game Pass Glow-Up (or Down): Tiers revamp Nov 4 (Essential $10: 50+ games/cross-play; Premium $15: 200+; Ultimate $30: 400+/day-one Ubisoft/EA/Fortnite—up $10). CoD excluded 2025 ($300M loss last year); no PC-only. Tim: Value for heavy users; Nate: Bait-switch fatigue. Free ad-tier Cloud incoming? Tim's Plays: Lego Voyagers (co-op puzzle; visual storytelling, 3-5hr cute vibes). Hollow Knight (30hr in: slow/janky start—5-8hr slog; soul mechanic shines; 7-8/10; Newgrounds art/jank from 2 devs). Jump Ship ($20 early access: Sea of Thieves/Helldivers space co-op; Zero-G repairs, grid Tetris, Star Fox branching—co-op chaos gold; single-player robot helper). Nate's Dips: Shapes (idle factory builder: shape-mining puzzles, web/Steam sync). Hollow Knight/Silksong (not his jam—zero onboarding). News/Hype: PS State of Play (Ascendant: Returnal roguelike; Wolverine: R-rated leaks confirmed, March '26—Hugh Jackman-esque actor; nuanced vs. Steve Blum growl debate). EA $55B buyout (Saudi royals/Kushner; fears for BioWare/Mass Effect, LGBTQ Apex retcons). Star Seeker Direct Oct 7. Cobra: The Awakening (Switch GI Joe cartoon vibe). GameStop PSA slab trade-in ($5K for Switch/Pokémon—WA weirdos). Wraps on Tron: Ares unspoiled joy (NIN Anaheim March; Disney ad dodges), with Tim's matchmaking glow and Nate's editing dread. Forked vibes: Pain, hype, and "fuck you" laughs.

What happens when scientists, students, space communicators, and refugee engineers float together in zero gravity? Former Planetary Radio host Mat Kaplan joins a remarkable group of flyers aboard a Zero-G flight organized by Space for Humanity. You’ll hear from participants and mentors including Emily Calandrelli, Sian Proctor, and Roxy Williams, as well as Space for Humanity Executive Director Antonio Peronace and Zero-G CEO Kevin Sproge. Together, they share how a few moments of weightlessness offered a powerful shift in perspective. We explore the mission to make space more inclusive, the awe of the “overview effect,” and what it means to carry that inspiration back down to Earth. Then, Bruce Betts joins us for What’s Up.

Balance is a common challenge among people with Parkinson's disease and it can be made even more challenging when there is both a risk of falls AND a high fear of falling. What's a clinician to do to improve overall balance when your patient is too fearful to try so many things? On today's show Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS discusses exactly that predicament with physical therapists Sharanya Chavva, PT, DPT and Jennifer Lazaro, PT, DPT, NCS who share the findings of their poster from APTA CSM 2025. Their poster, which outlines a case study of a PwP, won the APTA Balance and Falls SIG first place award. Their research focuses on a unique approach to balance interventions that incorporates high intensity focused training on one aspect of balance - Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs) - that demonstrates transference to other balance outcomes. Key Highlights: - The study centered on a patient in the early stages of Parkinson's disease who had significant anxiety about falling - Traditional balance training methods weren't effectively improving her confidence - They introduced a novel approach using a specific anticipatory postural adjustment (APA) training protocol - A Zero G harness system was utilized to help the patient feel more secure during exercises Remarkable Results: - Patient's balance confidence (ABC score) increased from 73% to 80% - BESTest score improved dramatically from 62% to 83% - Patient began engaging more in daily activities like grocery shopping - Achieved high-intensity training with up to 160 repetitions per exercise This case study demonstrates that targeted, high-intensity balance training can significantly improve patient confidence and functional mobility. By focusing on anticipatory movements and creating a safe training environment, therapists can help PwP overcome their fear and improve their quality of life. Check out the poster here

With zero prior flight experience but a deep love for space (and Star Trek), Matt Gohd took the helm of Zero G during a pivotal moment and helped guide the company into a new era—one marked by resilience, accessibility, and unforgettable experiences that allow everyday people to float like astronauts. In this episode, Beth and Matt explore the incredible evolution of Zero G—from its bold beginnings inspired by Peter Diamandis to flying 22,000+ people, including Stephen Hawking and Apollo astronaut Charlie Duke. Matt shares what it took to revive the company after near shutdown, launch flights during a global pandemic, and expand access to space-like experiences for everyone—especially through impactful initiatives like AstroAccess, which brings disabled individuals aboard to test space accessibility solutions. Listeners will love the behind-the-scenes stories of lunar pushups, parabolic protocols, and even the “best nap of your life” after your flight. About Matt Gohd: Matt is the Chairman of Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G), the only commercial provider of weightless flight experiences in the U.S. With a background in finance and a passion for turning bold visions into reality, Matt stepped in during a critical time to relaunch the company and bring spaceflight simulation to the masses. Since then, he's been instrumental in growing Zero G's impact, forging partnerships, expanding operations across the country, and championing inclusion in space. Zero G now operates in cities like Houston, San Jose, New York, and even from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, offering public flights, corporate experiences, and research missions for institutions prepping for lunar missions. Check out GoZeroG.com to learn more, book a seat, or get updates on where the plane will fly next. (Use code “MAT10” to save 10% on your own weightless adventure.) Matt also highlights collaborators like Tim Bailey (the heart of Zero G), marketing pro Erin, and CEO Kevin Sproge, who brings military and Blue Origin astronaut training expertise to the team. And don't miss the mention of Jose Hernandez, NASA astronaut and subject of A Million Miles Away, who often joins flights to inspire the next generation.

Visit our Substack for bonus content: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/rewind-ok-go Aarron and Eli are traveling with their families for Spring Break, so we're bringing back one of our favorite episodes from 2023 with the band OK Go. In the time since we recorded the interview, they've come out with a new album, and with several new music videos, including for the track Love, shot with no cuts…just “mirrors, robotics, and a whole lot of planning.” Enjoy! *** Not many bands hire Russian pilots to film a Zero-G video on their cosmonaut training plane, known as the “vomit comet”. But those are the kinds of extremes that OK Go will go to in the pursuit of creativity. Tim Nordwind and Damian Kulash, the band's founders, met at camp as pre-teens in search of a fellow creative nerd, and founded the band in 1998. Over the past 25 years, they've created 3 Grammy-nominated music videos, and won Best Music Video for Here It Goes Again. From the perfectly timed explosions filmed in slow-motion for their song The One Moment, to the immensely elaborate Rube Goldberg contraption they created for This Too Shall Pass, OK Go is almost like a performance-art troupe that just happens to be a fantastic rock band. In this episode on the creative process, we talk to Tim and Damian about how they come up with ideas, the macro and micro elements of their creativity, and achieving the impossible. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: Gravity's Mishap: An Accidental Dance in Zero-G Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2024-12-18-23-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 李伟和美玲正在一个秘密实验室里忙碌。En: Li Wei and Mei Ling were busy in a secret laboratory.Zh: 这个实验室非常高科技，里面有许多实验机器、电线和小工具。En: This lab was very high-tech, filled with numerous experimental machines, wires, and gadgets.Zh: 窗外的雪静静飘落，与实验室内的骚动形成鲜明对比。En: The snow silently fell outside the window, creating a stark contrast with the commotion inside the lab.Zh: “美玲，你看！这是我最新的发明！”李伟兴奋地说道。En: "Mei Ling, look! This is my latest invention!" Li Wei exclaimed excitedly.Zh: 他指向一个看起来很复杂的机器。En: He pointed to a complex-looking machine.Zh: 美玲小心翼翼地凑过去，皱着眉说：“你确定这安全吗？”En: Mei Ling cautiously moved closer and frowned, saying, "Are you sure this is safe?"Zh: 李伟摆摆手，笑着说：“当然，这没问题。”En: Li Wei waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "Of course, it's no problem."Zh: 说完，他便随手按下了一个按钮。En: With that, he casually pressed a button.Zh: 突然，机器发出一声隆隆的响声，整个实验室里的物体都开始漂浮起来！En: Suddenly, the machine emitted a rumbling sound, and everything in the lab started to float!Zh: 李伟的试验台、笔记本电脑、文件夹，还有他自己和美玲，全都漂浮在空中。En: Li Wei's workbench, his laptop, folders, and even himself and Mei Ling, all floated into the air.Zh: “哦，天哪！”美玲惊呼，试图抓住一个漂过她面前的书。En: "Oh my gosh!" Mei Ling exclaimed, trying to grab a book drifting past her.Zh: “我们得赶快关掉它！”En: "We need to turn it off quickly!"Zh: 李伟在空中漂移，不时碰到浮动的瓶子和工具。En: Li Wei drifted in the air, occasionally bumping into floating bottles and tools.Zh: 他努力向美玲游过去，说：“我们得想办法够到那个控制面板。”En: He struggled to swim towards Mei Ling and said, "We need to find a way to reach that control panel."Zh: 两个人在没有重力的实验室中笨拙地漂浮，试图不被悬浮的机器碰到。En: The two clumsily floated in the zero-gravity lab, trying not to get hit by suspended machines.Zh: 美玲灵机一动，用一根长电线当作“绳子”，向控制面板荡去。En: Mei Ling had a brainwave and used a long wire as a "rope" to swing towards the control panel.Zh: 李伟学她的样子，也抓住一根电线荡过去。En: Li Wei copied her technique and grabbed a wire to swing over.Zh: 他们成功地到达机器旁，但面临一个难题：如何在零重力中操作控制面板？En: They successfully reached the machine but faced a dilemma: how to operate the control panel in zero gravity.Zh: “试试这个按钮！”美玲指着一个明显的红色按钮。En: "Try this button!" Mei Ling pointed at an obvious red button.Zh: 李伟伸出手，轻轻按下按钮。En: Li Wei reached out and gently pressed it.Zh: 然后，奇迹发生了——一切开始慢慢降落，重力恢复了！En: Then, a miracle happened—everything began to slowly descend, and gravity was restored!Zh: 就在这个时候，实验室的门打开了，他们的主管走了进来。En: Just then, the lab door opened, and their supervisor walked in.Zh: 两人迅速站好，假装若无其事。En: The two quickly stood still, pretending like nothing had happened.Zh: 主管环顾四周，只看到地上散落的几个文件，并没有多说什么。En: The supervisor looked around, only seeing a few scattered documents on the floor and said nothing more.Zh: “看来一切正常。”主管点点头，然后走开了。En: "Everything seems normal," the supervisor nodded and then walked away.Zh: 李伟松了一口气，对美玲说道：“这真是一次冒险。”En: Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mei Ling, "That was quite an adventure."Zh: 美玲微笑着说：“以后做实验要小心点。不过，有时冒险也是不错的选择。”En: Mei Ling smiled and said, "We should be more careful in our experiments next time. But sometimes, taking risks is a good choice."Zh: 两人相视而笑，心中都明白了彼此的重要性，也懂得了在实验中既要有勇气，也要有谨慎。En: They exchanged smiles, understanding each other's importance and recognizing the need for both courage and caution in experiments.Zh: 窗外雪还在下，但实验室里恢复了平静。En: The snow was still falling outside, but peace had returned to the laboratory.

Starship performs their 6th Test Flight a month after their 5th - and it was.....BANANAS! That's right we are breaking down IFT6, with our (almost) LIVE reaction to the launch! We started recording during Starship's Reentry, so you catch our reaction live to that. It was a great day for data! The Starship team's have pulled off the practically impossible and soft landed both the Super Heavy Booster & Starship. We're not quite sure what survived, but that's space development! The world's most powerful rocket took another big step forward - expect more of these launches soon! We also share our thoughts on the Space Economy, Lowering the cost to Access Space, Space Progress, and Heat Tile Protection required for the insanity of atmospheric reentry for spacecraft with human crew. We'd love to hear about your reaction to Starship IFT6 - email us at todayinspacepodcast@gmail.com or DM us on social media! Otter.AI's Summary of the episode: "The Starship IFT6 test flight successfully lifted off at 5 PM Central Time, with all 33 Raptor engines functioning. The booster performed a boost-back burn and landed offshore due to a tower issue. The starship, carrying a zero-G banana and a Starlink Pez dispenser, re-entered at 26,700 km/h, testing aggressive angles of attack. Despite some flap charring, the landing was soft. The flight marked SpaceX's second successful full lift-off and booster recovery. The test underscored the importance of rapid iteration and data gathering for future human spaceflight missions, including the Artemis III moon landing and potential Mars missions by 2026."

Two different strategies, two different values, two different perspectives. The Zero-G phenomenon in Fantasy Hockey has gotten a lot of legs the past few years, and I have had some questions about potential gaps in the armor. I have invited the Blacksmith himself to come in and show me around the forge. https://twitter.com/ApplesGinos, the originator of the Zero-G Draft strategy joins the show today to parry my dissent. There are an infinite avenues to get to the championship, bringing two different perspectives together is one way to learn about different strategies and schools of thought. On a strategy as impactful as this, we needed to bring in the ringer to get to the bottom of certain aspects. Enjoy!
